They let him work out because they did not know if they could sign Green and there was still a chance he could have been their QB. When they signed Green it was known that he would now be traded or cut. If he was injured while working out or doing something on at their facility they would have to pay him his money. Why would they want to risk that?

Then if they were so worried about him getting hurt cut him as soon as you sign Green. I believe you can't lock a guy out if he is under contract.

Why didn't KC lock out Green? His contract was 7.2 million. But they still let him come to OTA's and minicamp. Why? Becasue he was under contract.

KC handled it the right way. Miami and Tenn ( w/ McNair) did not.

Well you are correct. The only thing he has done the last few years is get hurt, throw interceptions and fumble. But Miami still was in the wrong IMO.

If you were Miami, or any other NFL team for that matter how would you have handled it?

I agree it sucks but I wouldn't say it was 'wrong'.

That's business in the NFL.

Sucks for Culpepper but again, this stuff happens. It happened to McNair when he left the Titans.

Why not the Raiders? It would give them some leavage in the JaMarcus Russell contract. Plus he could probably start and bring JaMarcus Russell along slowly. JaMarcus Russell probably will probably miss a good amount of training camp with a hold out.

Not to toot my own horn, but to toot my own horn, I knew it was a good fit two weeks ago.

Well a lot of fans seem convinced he'll play because he's "Gibbs' guy"

Apparently, they've forgotten who drafted Jason Campbell

You actually provide a very good point NOT to sign him. I am sick of QB controversies. But if Cambell sucks, then this whole season is shot.

No way Brunell plays this year barring injury.
